Sporting & Recreation

Sport is a vital part of the development of children in Australia that provides significant benefits to the lives of kids. Sporting clubs want to see children and young people engaged, excited, and enjoying their sport; passionate about their game, their club and their team. Children and young people want to feel accepted, connected, and safe in these environments.

Sporting bodies at national, state and local levels have adopted and are implementing the 10 National Child Safety Standards. These standards are combined with state standards, regulations, and laws.

ChildSafe Australia is the expert in child safety your club can rely on to help your volunteers meet your club’s child safety requirements. ChildSafe empowers clubs with training, resources, and tools to develop a culture of safe people, safe programs and safe places.

ChildSafe Training and Australia’s child safety standards.

ChildSafe’s training has been developed to help organisations meet the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations and state-based Child Safety Standards.

The National Principles for Child Safe Organisations (the National Principles) provide a national approach to cultivating organisational cultures and practices that foster child safety and wellbeing across all sectors in Australia. They give effect to the Royal Commission’s recommended child safe standards while including broader child safety and wellbeing.

Some states have developed State based Child Safety Standards.  ChildSafe’s training is delivered to reflect each states Child safety framework and reporting requirements.

At the core of these standards is education and training for staff and volunteers.
